XADM: Setup /Q Prompts for Service Account When Installing Non-Service Components |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
SYMPTOMS
When you are running Setup /Q to install a non-service component, the Setup
program expects the Setup.ini file to have a service account specified.
Non-service components include the Administrator program and Books Online.
If the service account is not specified, Setup displays a dialog box,
prompting for the service account.
This behavior is only seen using Setup /Q.
If you run the Setup program in interactive mode and then go to the
Custom/Complete option and select only the non-service component, Setup
does not prompt you for a service account.
CAUSE
Setup assumes that it is installing service components, even though none
were selected. With the fix described below, Setup checks before asking for
the service account name and password.
STATUS

5.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. For information on obtaining the
